Thwaite Gardens visit

Thwaite garden volunteer, Steve Howe hosted Skipsea Gardening Club members on a tour of the gardens and greenhouses.

​

Following a welcome introduction with refreshments, members were guided through the grounds, formerly part of Thwaite Hall,  which feature many unusual plants in herbaceous borders, a winter border, herb garden, bog garden, alpine beds, sub-tropical beds, Salvia bed, Mediterranean and Antipodean beds.

 

The Thwaite tree collection is an important collection of mature rare trees containing four National Champion Trees and 31 Yorkshire Champion Trees.

​

​The gardens are not open to the general public, although members of the Friends of Thwaite Gardens are able to visit at specific times of the week.
